When it first appeared Monitin was considered innovative and high quality. It dealt with a wide variety of subjects, which indluded, aside from political coverage, culture and life-style - architecture, fashion, music, culinary and leisure culture. Its writing style, New-Journalism, was innovative for Israel of the period, in its personal and direct tone, and the use of thin sharp language, which was at the same time broad minded and opinionated. Its design was also innovative - it was printed on in color on chromo paper and its graphic design was deliberate, with a prominent use of photos and illustrations.
